Germany says it will ARREST Benjamin Netanyahu if he sets foot in the country following ICC call to charge him with war crimes - as Israel becomes increasingly isolated over Gaza
UK Daily Mail ^ | May 23, 2024 | Henry Moore and Elena Salvoni

Germany will arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he enters the country amid allegations of war crimes by the International Criminal Court, a spokesperson has confirmed.

Steffen Hebestreit, a spokesperson for German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, confirmed on Wednesday the country would 'abide by the law' and arrest the under-fire Israeli leader should he visit the EU nation.

This comes after British prosecutor Karim Khan announced on Monday that he is seeking warrants for Netanyahu, Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, as well as three Hamas terror chiefs including Yahya Sinwar, the ruler in Gaza who masterminded October 7.

...as Israel becomes increasingly isolated over Gaza

Ever the broken record, this was by design IMHO.

That, and to destabilize the Israeli government from within.

A brilliant strategic move (if one removes blinders and thinks about it)...one the IDF should damned well have gamed long ago (which they obviously did NOT). The irony is that I don't believe that Iran or Hamas have the intellectual depth to have conceptualized such a plan, pointing fingers directly at the powers currently working to destabilize US.

[Germany gives billions in aid to Israel, on top of the Holocaust reparations that it’s still paying.

Germany also gave Israel six nuclear-armed Dolphin submarines, paid for by German taxpayers.

The “trade” and “movement” between Germany and Israel is overwhelmingly to Israel’s benefit. I doubt Israel would want to cut it off.]


Cumulative German aid to Israel and reparations comes to under $90b. In the 1930s, it seized $16b Reichsmarks ($6b) in assets from Jews in Germany and territories conquered in Europe. That $6b is $180b today, adjusted for inflation.

An appropriate measure might be to ramp up the Samson Option - to add to the nuclear warheads reserved for Germany when the Arabs break through. Germany will finally get to find out whether Valhalla is for real.

[David Perlmutter
edit
In 2002, the Los Angeles Times published an opinion piece by Louisiana State University professor David Perlmutter.

Israel has been building nuclear weapons for 30 years. The Jews understand what passive and powerless acceptance of doom has meant for them in the past, and they have ensured against it. Masada was not an example to follow—it hurt the Romans not a whit, but Samson in Gaza? What would serve the Jew-hating world better in repayment for thousands of years of massacres but a Nuclear Winter. Or invite all those tut-tutting European statesmen and peace activists to join us in the ovens? For the first time in history, a people facing extermination while the world either cackles or looks away—unlike the Armenians, Tibetans, World War II European Jews or Rwandans—have the power to destroy the world. The ultimate justice?[32]

In his 2012 book How the End Begins: The Road to a Nuclear World War III, the American Jewish author Ron Rosenbaum described this opinion piece as “goes so far as to justify a Samson Option approach”.[33]

In that book, Rosenbaum also opined that in the “aftermath of a second Holocaust”, Israel could “bring down the pillars of the world (attack Moscow and European capitals for instance)” as well as the “holy places of Islam.” and that the “abandonment of proportionality is the essence” of the Samson Option.[dubious – discuss][34]

Martin van Creveld
edit
In 2003, a military historian, Martin van Creveld, thought that the Second Intifada then in progress threatened Israel’s existence.[35] Van Creveld was quoted in David Hirst’s The Gun and the Olive Branch (2003) as saying:

We possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets and can launch them at targets in all directions, perhaps even at Rome. Most European capitals are targets for our air force. Let me quote General Moshe Dayan: ‘Israel must be like a mad dog, too dangerous to bother.’ I consider it all hopeless at this point. We shall have to try to prevent things from coming to that, if at all possible. Our armed forces, however, are not the thirtieth strongest in the world, but rather the second or third. We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure you that that will happen before Israel goes under.[36]]

Once the Germans were all war-like and mean
But that couldn’t happen again

We taught them a lesson in 1918
And they’ve hardly bothered us since then

Oh, please. (Do you think the Germans blew up that pipeline?)

Any friction between Germany and Russia is being instigated by the neocon lunatics running the United States.

Germany was having trouble, what a sad, sad story
Needed a new leader to restore its former glory
Where, Oh where was he? Where could that man be?
We looked around and then we found
The man for you and me.
And now it’s......

It's "Oświęcim" now, and they won't get past the Poles this time.
